Here are some of the latest domain name movers from the corporate side that I like to focus on.
WhiteWave Services, Inc. has acquired the domain name OneChange.com for an undisclosed amount, continuing its domain name buying after recently acquiring premium domain name Horizon.com. WhiteWave is being acquired by Danone’s for about $10.1 Billion, as announced in July 2016.
LushLawn.com has been acquired by LushLawn.net. TruGreen Limited Partnership owned the domain name prior, so this appears to be a little guy buying from a big guy (instead of the common, other way around).
Nation Online Inc. has acquired UpperClass.com out of the Godaddy NameFind portfolio for an undisclosed amount.
JTN.com appears to have been acquired by GoldenName.com from Anything.com, Ltd according to whois records.
Abbott Laboratories were the buyers of Alinity.com and appear to be getting ready to use the domain.
